Looking it up I see I started purchasing BRK in 2008. Good thing I checked because my memory thought earlier. I have been adding continuously. I always have some open put positions I have written. When put to I sometimes keep the shares and sometimes I write covered calls on them. My lowest purchase price was $60.24.

I am really disappointed that Schwab got rid of StreetSmart Pro in favor of Thinkorswim.

If the Polgar sisters lived in your building that would be interesting.

I do a lot of this. KO is a good example when it is around $60. On 1/23 I wrote Feb 21 60-strike puts for a little over $0.60 per share. If I get put to I will write $60-strike calls. If KO goes up in price I will wait till it comes back down to do it again, and again, and again... Also all the stuff I do own I got my positions by being put to. That helps me to be patient and get a better price.

TAP does look good. I "put" part of one toe in writing a Feb 21, 52.5 strike put for $1.21, LOL.

There is a lot of gold even nearer, the core of the earth. Enough to cover the entire surface of earth with a 1.5 foot thick layer!

24.8%, another 0.2% and I could have felt average.

It is known these myokines can cross the blood-brain barrier and promote neuroplasticity and blood vessel growth. Neurologist refer to brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) as brain fertilizer. Yes 75% of the BDNF in your brain is created there, hence the name, but it is also released from your muscles during exercise. Last week I talked about exercise in my class, "Keys to Learning."

We are living proof you can prevent sarcopenia!

MRI studies have found fit children have hippocampi about 12% larger than unfit children. In his book Boost Your Brain, Johns Hopkins neurologist Majid Totuhi, M.D., Ph.D. shows MRI scans with 16% increases in the size of the hippocampus after a vigorous exercise regimen. Arthur Kramer’s lab at U of I also found measurable increases in gray and white matter after 6 months of exercise in older adults. (S. J. Colcombe, K. I. Erickson, P. E. Scalf, J. S. Kim, R. Prakash, E. McAuley, S. Elavsky, D. X. Marquez, L. Hu and A. F. Kramer, "Aerobic Exercise Training Increases Brain Volume in Aging Humans," The Journals of Gerontology; Series A, vol. 61, no. 11, pp. 1166-1170, 2006). Besides exercise, you can increase brain regions with study (Maguire, E. A.; Gadian, D. G.; Johnsrude, I. S.; Good, C. D.; Ashburner, J.; Frackowiak, R. S. J.; Frith, C. D., “Navigation-related structural change in the hippocampi of taxi Drivers,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 97 (8): 4398–4403 (2000) and Katherine Woodlett and Eleanor Maguire, “Acquiring "the Knowledge" of London’s Layout Drives Structural Brain Changes,” Current Biology 21, 2109-2114 (2011).) and meditation (Britta K. Hölzel, James Carmody, Mark Vangel, Christina Congleton, Sita M. Yerramsetti, Tim Gard, and Sara W. Lazar, “Mindfulness Practice Leads to Increases in Regional Brain Gray Matter Density,” Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging 191, no. 1 (2011): 36–43)
